DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lizzie, please don't sue!

--------------------------------------------------

"I think not, guys. He didn't propose, and as far as I'm concerned, it's over- or should I say- we're over." Miranda talked to Lizzie and Gordo across the table.

Lizzie wasn't gonna let this slip. "But Miranda, Larry did plan on proposing to you, but not yet. He said that it was just too early for a proposal."

"You wish. You two probably made that up so I'd go back to him, but let me tell you something- it won't happen. Not now, not ever."

"Look, Miranda." Gordo started, "When we came over to see you, Larry was pacing around nervously, and he was wondering why you had gotten so mad, and he had told us himself that he wanted to propose later on. But when he called us and said you slammed the door in his face, we decided to bring you down here and talk this ou-"

"So, you guys got me out of my house just to try and patch me and Larry up? Well, it didn't work. And you, Gordo- don't try and tell me about this, because YOU'RE the one who's proposed to Lizzie, leaving me with nobody. Thanks for nothing!" and with that, Miranda stormed out of the building, leaving Lizzie and Gordo alone.

"Looks like she's gonna need a bit of time to cool down some." Lizzie said, looking out at Miranda going her fastest out of the parking lot.

"Yeah. I don't know why, but she's really crushed at Larry not proposing to her. I mean, she seems angry that he didn't propose and I did."

"She almost had me convinced to break our engagement, but it didn't work."

"Lizzie, we were meant to be from the day we met."

"You can say that again, sweetie." Lizzie laughed, pulling him into a kiss. They both decided to talk to Miranda the next day and spend the rest of the evening alone. After seeing a movie, they went to the mall, and they entered the store right buy the Kay's jeweler. While Lizzie was buying a few outfits with her birthday money from her parents, Gordo told Lizzie that he was going to another store.

A few minutes, she could hear Gordo saying, "Yeah, that one right there." Then she heard another man's voice saying something she couldn't understand. Then, she heard Gordo saying, "Sure, I'll pay the extra money. What? Oh, it's Lizzie, with an I-E.

Lizzie wondered what the hell he was doing in a jewelry store, and why he was telling someone her name. Once they were done, they both went to Gordo's house, dog tired. They found Larry standing outside, a worried look on his face.

"Larry- what's happened?"

"I....I came home, and found my room made into a mess, and i t was prefect before I had left. I also found this."

Larry handed them a note, saying

Larry,

You're worthless. You didn't propose to me, while Gordo already proposed to Lizzie. This is just a taste of things to come, because you've shattered my heart too badly o put it back together.

From Miranda

"Whoa. That's harsh, Larry." Lizzie said after reading the note.

"Shattered her heart? I think it's more like boiled her blood." Gordo said. "She got upset with us earlier this evening and went out of the place like an angry dog."

"OK, Larry. Tomorrow, we're all going to get together and go over to see Miranda and get her back with you. You two were meant to be together." Lizzie said. "But for now, just go home and try to get your mind off of this as best as you can."

Larry agreed and went on his way. Gordo and Lizzie went inside, and discussed a plan again before deciding on going to bed. While Lizzie changed in the bathroom, Gordo quickly lit a few candles and got out the other gift that she'd been wanting for a long time- the $247 silver bracelet that she had been dying to have ever since they'd reached high school. Except this time, Gordo had paid and extra $35 to have her named engraved on it.

Lizzie entered the room, and saw Gordo on his side of the bed, and he looked as if he were hiding something under his pillow. She climbed into bed, and she heard him say, "I forgot to give you this for your birthday."

He pulled out the box and opened it up, saying, "Happy birthday, baby." Lizzie looked in and saw the bracelet. "Oh.....my....god....Gordo, how'd you get this?"

"I bought it at that jewelry store we always pass in the mall with the window you always look in and want the bracelet. I knew you'd wanted it for a long time, so I got it as a birthday gift."

"Gordo, you're almost too sweet." Lizzie said, deeply kissing him. "I have to do everything again for my angel." Gordo said, as Lizzie began to kiss him again. He clasped on the bracelet, and Lizzie saw her name engraved on it. Now she knew what he was doing at the mall earlier on. After another long kiss, Lizzie cuddled up against Gordo, and they both went to sleep.
